ABOUT ME AND MY BREEDING PROGRAM

Candy Shop Poms is a small breeding program with 2-4 litters a year. My dogs all live with my Husband and I in our home in Utah. Our dogs do not live in kennels, and puppies are whelped right in our bedroom. We are not high-volume breeders and we do not believe in breeding aimlessly, just to create more dogs. 

​

I only breed responsibly, and believe in health testing. All of my dogs have their required OFA health testing ( Patellas, Heart, Eyes). Every puppy from us will go to their new homes having their age appropriate vaccines and deworming, and vet checks. I select dogs with calm, gentle dispositions, as that is the temperament that I prefer. Our hope is that our babies fit into their new homes as loving family members. Our main goal with breeding is to produce our next show dog, but all puppies who we do not keep make gorgeous pets/best friends!

​

My dogs are not a source of income for me, they are a fun, fulfilling passion and we spend much more money on our breeding program than we will ever make back. 

​

We support our puppy families for the life of their dog, and will take back any dog for any reason. We do not sell any dog/puppy without a legally binding contract being signed.

I have been a dog lover since I was a child, and some of my fondest memories include dogs. I was not raised in a family that showed dogs, but we loved dogs, and my grandpa bred hunting dogs.

I am currently serving on the board of my local kennel club (Utah Valley Kennel Club), serving on multiple committees and helping the club host our local conformation show. I am also a member of the American Pomeranian Club. I am dedicated to continued education with my breed, and with the sport of dogs shows. There is an endless amount of knowledge that goes into breeding, evaluating, and showing dogs, and I am lucky to have mentors who share their years of knowledge and expertise with me!
